THE PEAK MAGAZINE, OCT 2019 - How to stay relevant in an AI-

A new book, Deep Human, argues that tapping into our innate humanity is the way forward. - SHAMILEE

HIGHLIGHTS FROM ARTICLE: 


“Our local education system has been training students for ages to be  like robots. To be obedient, disciplined, compliant, follow the rules.  But that’s going to lead to planned obsolescence,” says Crystal, who  also writes extensively on the topic for CNA. The Lim-Langes quickly  found that their students’ challenges – such as struggling to feel  relevant, feeling isolated and disconnected, and being unable to focus  in a sea of distractions – were symptomatic of the Fourth Industrial  Revolution, an era in which deep technology has caused the blurring of  boundaries between the physical, digital and biological worlds.


The duo, who left NUS to launch Forest Wolf, a private practice that  consults with large corporations such as Spotify, Amgen, investment  banks and Singapore’s biopharma sector, strongly believes that unique  human qualities will distinguish successful business leaders in a future  where AI and robots have replaced many traditional skills and  practices.


Their recently launched book, Deep Human, makes a point of harnessing  the latest neuroscience research and emphasises the five key human  superskills – Focus and Mindfulness, Self- Awareness, Empathy, Complex  Communication and Adaptive Resilience – that they say are key to  confidently facing a radically uncertain future.


They describe this state of flux as VUCA, using the acronym that was  originally developed by the US military but has been co- opted by the  business world to describe volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and  ambiguity. “These four factors are growing exponentially,” says Crystal,  pointing out that modern technology has simultaneously advanced and  eroded the quality of our lives, the way we think and how we connect  with others. The pair, who cite mindfulness pioneers such as Rick  Hanson, Jon Kabat-Zinn and Jack Kornfield as inspirations, advocate  that leaders learn to combat distractions and sharpen their focus  through regular mindfulness exercises, similar to working out at the  gym.


Other key strategies for leaders include naming and therefore  “taming” business stressors, becoming emotionally literate (or aware of  their emotional responses to daily events), giving their team regular,  candid feedback and, crucially, encouraging true innovation through  fostering a sense of psychological safety among staff , which Google  research teams have found to be critical in high- performance work  cultures.


“Everyone says they want innovation, but innovation goes hand-in-hand  with an appetite for failure,” says Crystal, who adds that the days of  the infallible, all-knowing CEO are long gone. As the boundaries between  work and life become increasingly blurred, companies have become  society’s new tribes, headed by inspiring CEOs who aren’t afraid to fail  and lead by example.
